摘要
The sooner and later waiting time problems have been extensively studied and applied in various areas of statistics and applied probability. In this paper, we give a comprehensive study of ordered series and later waiting time distributions of a number of simple patterns with respect to nonoverlapping and overlapping counting schemes in a sequence of Markov dependent multistate trials. Exact distributions and probability generating functions are derived by using the finite Markov chain imbedding technique. Examples are given to illustrate our results.
